I apparently posted some comments about the powers to be that were not well received. I've just returned from a two month stay in an Obama re-education camp. I've now seen the error in my ways, and I'm returning here to collect names for The-Big-O so that he may show you why guns are evil and we should all become mindless socialist followers of the messiah.

No I'm kidding! I've just been really busy.

Sorry for the long absence. My hard drive crashed, then I had several friends and family come visit for a week or longer at a time, and I got sucked into building a website for a horse club in the area. Not to mention it's fencing season, etc. Oh yeah, I've been helping out at a Summer Youth .22 shooting class. Just busy as heck in general.

Anyway, I couldn't go any longer without checking in here, so I'm finally back. I noticed while I was gone that the Survival Tip thread I started is ready to be voted on. Please read this thread, and help tell me how to set up a poll for 54 options, so I can get the free membership for the winner paid for.

JD, I'm not going to try to catch up on two months worth of post, so just tell me, how was your vacation? What else did I miss while I was gone? No one shot any .357s through their roofs while I was gone did they?

Wait, wait, you have to tell me more. How did JD almost die? Did they eat at that guy's house where you pay what you feel the meal was worth? What happened?

No not Roland's Magic Garden or Hostel situation. Colon issues, emergency surgery and a huge credit card charge, I'm sure he will tell you about it. You can find it in a thread, but I don't remember which one.

There are even pics of a very hairy JD recouping on the beach.

Glad you're back. Don't worry, we can short out that chip they put in the back of your neck in Obama-Camp. I saw it on Stargate, looked pretty straight-forward... All we need is a hot blond doctor to preform the resuscitation.

Hey Jesse's back - about damn time. Sorry I missed this thread, but it would appear I was well represented... LOL

Had a cyst develop that was leeching my waste directly into my blood stream. Had to call the ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack ( first reaction to the excess poisons in the body ), that took 1 hr and 7 minutes to travel about 30 minutes. Got the bill on that the other day, $213 US - not as bad as I thought.

Had to have emergency surgery to have the cyst removed and stayed two days in their version of ICU. That was $12K I had to pay on my credit cards to be able to leave the friggin hospital. They don't have to bill outside the Islands for medical insurance according to local laws. That's nice. I am still fighting with the insurance company about coverage and reimbursement.

BobbyB13 sent a duck to my place, but there was an invasion of mallards reported across the country. Cane was in on the invasion, Benning got converted first, jo da plumber was holding the fort in Kali, and Skullchrusher was doing his best to coordinate defenses, but that damn duck got through and has infested HQ.

Asmel came to the US and stayed at Cane's house. Apparently Cane is quite the host and cook, so make your reservations early.

We have had a ton of new members sign up and support the site.

Ineffable and Benning have been competing for wittiest post to end up in another's signature. Ineff is winning, and he won a signature bet from me on a stupid MMA fight that was ghey as hell. Benning has been trying his best though and came up with soem great threads.

And, tango went on a series of rants that ended with him going on a trip to Kalifornia and having problems with the airline....LOL
